We've been coming to Bangkok for over 30 years now, and this is one of the nicest places we've ever stayed. I love the ambiance of the restored colonial house - there are we felt like we were visiting friends/family. We were assigned the room in the photos in the website and couldn't have it enjoyed it more. We would wake up to birdsong - hard to believe when we were just a block off busy Silom Road.
There are some great restaurants nearby - we particularly liked the Lebanese restaurant on the main floor of the nearby Holiday Inn. We were disappointed with our old favourite - the Taling Pling...I can't recommend it - the former building is gone and the area redeveloped.
I can recommend the Botanika Spa a few blocks away on Silom Road - the whole atmosphere is terrific, the Thai massage ladies wonderful and the prices are fair considering how lovely the building is. It is on the opposite side of the street, just a few blocks towards the river. You will not be disappointed.
